Hi and i agree i have to modify my opinion
First it is very difficult for me to admit the measurements are useless
Why designers spend big money to buy instruments then
I can agree that some measurements cannot related with sound quality but i am sure that the most gifted audio designers have developed proprietary test protocols that are not what we see in the magazines for instance
This is part of their knowledge and so they do not disclose this happily and this is perfectly understandable
Speaking of the Crown i suppose it had impeccable distortion figures in the high freqs ... so this means to me that this specific measurements do not correlate with sound quality.
For speakers i am more convinced that distortion measurements really tell many things but i also see that they are quite uncommon
Moreover if you take a low distortion high eff and easy to drive speakers also amps sound better
One day instruments will tell us the whole story
I am sure of this
Kind regards,
